If all else fails, ill let you have some seat time in the S, topper. Its the least I can do after ALL the tips youve given me. My favorites include:
"Hmph"
"Yeah, that'll do it"
and my favorite of all time:
"eh, just keep doing what youre doing"

Am I a great instructor or what?
The one that bugs me is the time I HAD some real advice and forgot to give it to you....
Note: The following I've said to various students, not S2KFTWkthx.
"Sit up straight", "both hands on the wheel", "let go of the shifter", "get your ####ing hand off of the inside of the wheel", "what the hell are you using the brakes for, they only slow you down", "get your foot off of the clutch, turn left", "no I meant turn right", "how the hell do I know where the course goes", "I only designed and set it up", "when you spin close your mouth and eyes just BEFORE the wall of dirt and sand hits you in the face", don't hit that tree", Oh shitttt", "if you lift you're going to spin --- what, you didn't believe me".
Only a few of those might have been you...
"eh, just keep doing what youre doing" I have said to you more than once!

Huh? Most of those I've said to other drivers, not you. ie: That wasn't aimed at you. Mostly with you I've to keep doing what you're doing.
I should try to make a list of the funny things that have happened.
Did I tell you about the guy in the BMW that went about 200 feet off course and hit a Pine Tree? After we unwrapped the car from the tree he peed on the tree while someone else took pictures. They're posted somewhere. How about the lady in the Corvette that rolled it. When the car was up in the air upside down I saw the brake lights start flashing on and off. When I asked her about it she told me she started pumping the brakes to try to slow the car down before it landed. No joke. Both of those happened at NCCC events.
